“Emma and Emilee did a great job of using their strong groundstrokes to set themselves up.  Our ability to stay in a rally attributed to their success today.  Emma and Emilee really battled in the finals, we just didn’t quite take advantage of some of our opportunities.
Cecilia and Malory had the match of the day.  This duo was down 7-2 to Lincoln North Star in the final match of pool play.  However, Cecilia and Malory were able to rattle off 7 straight games to win 9-7.  Cecilia and Malory did a great job of not panicking and staying within themselves.  They played very consistent, but got aggressive at the right times.” – KHS Head Coach Troy Saulsbury
